Finding a Quiet Restaurant

Restaurant environments can be a challenge for Hard of Hearing individuals. My wife and I like to go out for a late lunch or early dinner (we call it Linner). A good time is 3 PM. We typically request a booth and make the staff aware of my hearing disability. At MVBG we like to sit in the dining area. At the Preserve the hostess tries her best to accommodate us and typically seats us in a quit location. The new Road Runner grill is too noisy unless the weather is nice enough to sit outside. If making reservations upstairs in HOA1 we request to be seated in a quiet location. If you have a quiet restaurant suggestion for this page, please contact Tim Gaule (tgaule@outlook.com)

Sound levels measured by users using SoundPrint's in-app decibel meter. Be aware that quiet, moderate and loud restaurants are listed. Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is listed as "moderate". I have found this restaurant to be loud. Nevertheless, this site is a helpful guide. If you click on the restaurant listing, you will see information on when and how many sound measures were taken.
